First Boring Teaser Poster for Fox's 'Three Stooges' Revival Unveiled

Just Say Moe. If only that was the motto the execs took with this to begin with. Not Moe, but just say no, because everything about this movie has that feeling. Fox has released a new teaser image on Facebook (via ComingSoon) for the Farrelly Brothers' upcoming The Three Stooges revival movie, starring a whole new set of Stooges. All it shows is a silhouette of the three, and oddly a cutoff portion of the Fox logo, which makes me wonder how official this really is. But besides those other promo banners from this summer, we haven't seen much of the new Three Stooges yet at all, and its due to be released in only another six months.

The Three Stooges is written & directed by filmmaking brothers Bobby & Peter Farrelly, of the comedies including Dumb & Dumber, Kingpin, There's Something About Mary, Shallow Hal, The Heartbreak Kid and Hall Pass. Inspired by the original "Three Stooges" shorts from the 1930s, the storyline will follow the trio from when they're orphans and into adulthood. The film will be divided into three half-hour shorts, and the Stooges will get mixed up in plots involving murder and a reality show. In addition to Diamantopoulos, Hayes and Sasso, the supporting cast includes Jane Lynch, Larry David, Sofía Vergara, Jennifer Hudson and Stephen Collins. Fox is bringing the new Three Stooges to theaters everywhere April 4th, 2012. Anyone?

WORST TEASER POSTER

I am also skeptical about this remake. There has been very little marketing, and considering it is OLD material it would seem to me that it would be wise to market the stooges as much as possible to garner interest in them once again.
Secondly I don't know if the world is ready for this kind of slapstick humor. 🙁

I have a hard time believing three-stooge humor will resonate with a modern audience. I am predicting this to be a massive flop.

It cant be a flop, the Farrelly's have something up their sleeve

Will Sasso was a great idea. Totally forgot about him.

Hell ya Will Sasso was an awesome choice! I think he's the only reason I wanna see this movie to begin with 😮

"and the Stooges will get mixed up in plots involving murder and a reality show"
Oh fucking no.

Looks like a good movie to me! How about you go watch and then talk bad about it if it's bad. The Farrelly Bros. have made a lot of good movies and are intelligent enough not to ruin this one. Don't knock it until you see it.
